Very good product. Tested for years in wet and windy conditions at Lake Inarinjärvi. The product stops working if you fill it with gas other than Prius' own gas. So don't put cheap gas in the lighter.

The first version was a second and the second one I haven’t gotten to try yet when I haven’t remembered to buy butane gas. This comes without gas.

One of the best lighters I have come up with. Or a better characterization would actually be a small gas burner.

Work in the cold in Sarek. A bit difficult to track fuel consumption, so one star off.

It's quite stiff to press, and it doesn't light up every time. Ergonomics could be better.

Doesn't work in freezing weather if you don't heat it up separately. Otherwise good.

Superior when working, but quite sensitive to collecting garbage, which may cause the operation to crash. For me, it lasts on average a couple of years and then it just falls apart, even if I use it irregularly. Now I have noticed that a proper cleaning with a topz stick from the nozzle and a careful brushing with a toothpick etc. removes the accumulated scum and improves functionality and service life.

Handy small for one-person trips and short hikes. A nice option to use as a pressure coffee maker. Sometimes the corked (textile-covered) heat shield can leak so that it gets hot and may extinguish the flame. The lid gets hot, so use heat-resistant gloves.

This lights up funeral candles even in miserable weather. Compact and sturdy lighter. At the same time, stiffness means a rigid trigger, which is not just a good thing. In practice, the flame ignites only with a second attempt. The ignition of the flame is difficult to detect with the naked eye in daylight, so be careful. But still an excellent partner for a variety of challenging conditions.

The first lighter didn't work at all, the spark did work but it didn't let gas out, a new trip to Konala. The exchange went smoothly and we got the lighter filled at the checkout so we could test the operation. Now this second piece has worked well, but only 3/5 due to, for example, factory quality control.

A good device, but with <-20C, it is advisable to keep matches in reserve, unless you can heat the lighter on hand first.

Very good lighter. The only things to keep in mind are, in principle, the airplane is not suitable, and if there are debris, etc. on the bottom of the pockets on the excursions, then the small air vents on the side should be cleaned from time to time (if the lighter is not blocked).

Works in wind and gusts. If you don’t need a batch job, then it works really well for lighting funeral candles and outdoor fires. It lights up no matter what kind of autumn storm ... A tip like that to keep in a cold weather in your pocket ... doesn't really work ice cold in the frost.

Functional product, easily ignites even wetter lighters to get a fire. Power is understandably insufficient for kitchen use, but compensates for the dessert surface for two people enough.

I have more than these and the hostesses necessarily wanted my own. Reliable, efficient and ignites, for example, funeral candles more easily with a neck and a long-adjustable flame. When filled with propane, it works even in the cold.

Insecure in cold conditions; requires preheating. You should keep it in your pocket or other warm place if you need to light a fire in the cold. Quite accurate also on the ignition position.

As long as it works. For myself, already the fourth going. At some point, it will no longer “work” and no maintenance will help.

Worked well for a while, but at some point the flame / gas supply started to break. No more than a second or max. two at a time. It has still been good and still has time to ignite it.

Work very well at first. Used three times a year to light candles in a cemetery. A total of less than a hundred fires. Now gives a really small flame.

It took about a year of hard use, after which problems in use as in previous reviews will become apparent. Acting as a good game but not inspiring. In search of a more secure "tohot".

Exactly the same symptoms as others. At first it works just fine, but after about 6 months of use I get a really weak flame only with the first ignition, after that there is no life in the whole stew. Gas comes and is, but does not ignite. An hour of unused and again I get one ignition. Can not recommend to anyone.

My lighter worked as described a couple of times in the comments above. About a year normally, that is, reliably. After that, only difficult to identify problems, and time is spent researching them. The piazo gives a spark and the nest hisses but does not light. There is no so-called. reliable accessory. I compare it to an accessory from a Swiss brand that is just as old for me but I can still trust because it doesn’t straighten but ignites. Hopefully Primus will respond and renew its model.

After 6 months of use, it stopped working. The gas does go awry and the piezo sparks every now and then, but it doesn't ignite, it doesn't ignite. Blowing and purging with compressed air did not help.

A handy lighter that ignites easily even in strong winds. However, the lighter will not operate reliably in the cold if the lighter (gas) can cool to minus temperatures. In this case, it is difficult or impossible to ignite the gas. If there is a need for frost to use, then you should keep your clothes warm inside. Otherwise, the so-called cold if you need to make a fire.

It feels good in itself, I have two of these in case of a bad day. It also melts silver, so this can be used to make silver solders. It doesn’t always start, so longevity is a bit of a concern. I don’t have daily use myself so I can’t say about wear resistance. It seems to keep the gas inside stored for a long time.

Well don’t know about that goodness ... The first song worked for 2 months, then the flame froze, didn’t help with blowing or power adjustments. The merchant gave a new warranty to replace it, so the new song lasted 5 months and the pie didn’t hit except occasionally after several attempts if anyway. It doesn’t inspire confidence on winter mountain trips, even though it’s good and efficient when it works!

Well worked for about a year in light use. I thought the lighter had reached the end of its life cycle when the shape of the flame became "looser" and the gas continued to flow for a moment, even though the button had been released. A lively blowing nozzle fixed all the problems and works well!

The product is good value for money. The metal body feels sturdy in the hand and the side-facing head does not burn your fingers. Works exactly as the lighter should :)

This is an interesting case in that instead of reducing the pressure, it needs to be increased. If it does not ignite or goes out immediately after ignition, the flame must be set higher. Yes it works. Quite a flamethrower is ..
